    I liked the hotel a lot, it was super hot when we entered, but it cooled off pretty quick after we turned on the AC. The restaurant downstairs was excellent and it was pretty quiet given how close it was to the action. The only reason I'm not...

    Beaut location, quirky, easy walking to shopping malls and cafes. Very accomadating staff who all helped with our luggage, translation assistance, and eating recommendations. Loved the "roadside" bar.
